Valerie is an asset to any algae project. She brings years of experience and a practical perspective that relates research to large scale cultivation, a skill that is extremely valuable. She is great to work with, has a positive can-do attitude and has perseverance when it comes to working towards completing projects and following through on interesting leads.

Algae-pond

I have found Harmon Consulting to be informed yet flexible and they have provided timely and valuable technical and operational advice for the algae project MBD is considering commercializing.

Valerie clearly has broad, relevant knowledge about algal production systems at scale and the ability to apply this knowledge to experimental design, trouble shooting, and data analysis. Valerie was instrumental in organizing an effort around curation and analysis of a very large data set spanning more than 3 years by setting up well-organized spreadsheets to track progress. This allowed rapid success in pushing along the project. Valerie also possesses excellent team management and personnel skills and was an invaluable member of the team.
